For avid hockey card collectors, the 2023-24 Upper Deck SP Authentic Hockey Hobby Box is a thrilling addition to this year’s releases. Known for its rich base set, unparalleled rookie cards, and dynamic inserts, this product is a treasure trove of coveted cards. Here’s everything collectors should keep an eye out for, from the base set to the incredible autographed memorabilia cards.

Base Set & Future Watch Rookies

The SP Authentic base set includes 200 cards, split between 100 veteran stars and 100 Future Watch Rookies. But it’s the Autographed Future Watch Rookies cards that steal the show! Each box contains at least one of these exclusive cards, which are numbered to just 99. The Future Watch line is famous for its rarity and significance in the hockey collecting world, especially as these autographed cards spotlight the next generation of hockey stars.

Collectors should also be on the lookout for special Future Watch parallels:

  • Limited Red: Ten of these sought-after red parallels are available per box.
  • Limited Gold: These are numbered to 99, adding exclusivity to the collection.
  • 1-of-1 Limited Black: The ultimate in rarity, these cards are a true find.

Alongside these parallels, you’ll find Future Watch Auto Patch cards that showcase a piece of premium memorabilia along with an autograph, numbered to 100. The 2013-14 Retro Future Watch Auto Patch cards celebrate a decade of this iconic design with rare tiers and a blend of memorabilia and autographs.

Auto Material and Patch Cards

SP Authentic brings fans closer to the game with Limited Auto Material and UD Authentics Auto Patch cards, both featuring game-used memorabilia from today’s biggest hockey stars. Limited Auto Material cards are numbered to 100 or less across four tiers, and the UD Authentics Auto Patch cards feature two tiers, each numbered to 49 or less. These inserts add immense value and excitement to every box break.
